- .Sounds similar to what happen to me. I had to take all peripherals
- .out of the computer - including serial board. The OS thought the
- .serial card (com1/com2) was a multiport Arnet serial board and
- .tried to do weird things, crashing the system.

- .I think - it's been a long time, I removed all lines except com1 & com2
- .and rebuild the kernel.

- .I hate software that tries to guess that hardware exists in
- .a system!

- I started out with just the cpu, vga card, monitor and mfm disk controller
- and I still got that error. I can not get past that to try your way, since
- you seem to have had a close experience to mine do you have any
- thoughts/advice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
